  • * Deal or no deal? * In classic bistro style, the menu is on a chalk board. It is divided into 4 sections of small bites, apps, mains, and desserts. Started off with a smoked mackerel risotto croquette. The smokiness interplayed beautifully with the creaminess of the risotto which was inside a perfect crunchy breading. It was a complex flavour profile which combined nicely with a glass of Anjou chenin blanc. The hint of smokiness from the wine was the perfect pairing. I followed with the fresh goat cheese which was presented on an eggplant pancake on top of an onion compote. There were some greens to add texture and a slight hint of bitterness. I was intrigued by the idea of an eggplant pancake, and it did not disappoint. A lovely dish. I also got to taste a bite of a scallop appetizer. The scallop was nice and fresh, perfectly seared, and presented with a tapenade. Nice. For the main I tried the espadon. It was thinly sliced and baked in a beautiful sauce which had fresh dill, fennel, pearl onions, and a generous amount of butter (of course). The sauce was perfect for soaking up with the crusty baguette which they frequently replenished. The sauce was the highlight of the dish. The fish was cooked nicely, but truly was just a platform for the sauce. The waiter suggested a Beaujolais, which was a semi-surprising pairing. But it worked perfectly. I also got to try a bite of the pork belly, which had a perfectly crispy skin and was prepared so the meat was quite tender. Very good. For dessert I had the profiteroles which had a very creamy ice cream and were swimming in a chocolate chili sauce. The perfect end to a truly lovely meal. Service was on top of things, made excellent wine pairing suggestions which really worked, and the entire location has a nice lively vibe. I do wish we had bistros of this quality in Vancouver! How about a trade - I'll give you 1 good dim sum restaurant, 25 discount budget sushi places, and a midrange izakaya. Deal?!?!?!?!?!
